·Vintage Omega made for the Middle East. The dial has images of the first three Kings of Saudi Arabia plus all the numerals are in local language.
1. King Abdul Aziz (Ibn Saud) 1932 - 1953
2. King Saud (Saud bin Abdulaziz), son of King Abdul Aziz 1953 - 1964
3. King Faisal (Faisal bin Abdulaziz), son of King Abdul Aziz 1964 - 1975

that last one was most likely locally modified and not done at Omega. The first from the pictures appears to be refinished.
the Saudi enamel is actually interesting though.

The extreme left watch dial’s lettering has been redial by the previous owners.

·Some of you might hate this Omega made for North Korean Dictator Kim II Sung… please pardon me as I merely collect watches and it does not mean that I endorsed the dictator and I take this forum as a platform for sharing information and hobbies..
Moreover, I have no intention of selling any watches here …
interesting date in Korean

·Most of these were diplomatic gifts.
Switzerland has a long tradition of such thing going back as far as Queen Elizabeth the first. Often two were made in case one was lost.

·To me, 'less is more' is the credo I roll with. It's always cleaner. Never been one for a theme anything either. Cars, watches, etc.. It just always seems to cheapen any product.

·What an unnecessary and rude comment. If you don't have anything useful or nice to day why not just move along?

·“Many western watch collectors will scream fake upon seeing [it] in a forum.
[…]
The thing about vintage watch is that in the earlier days, there were many variations and perhaps by having an open mind, one could see more things.”
You wrote this in your blog, referring to the responses you got on Omegaforums to this watch:
https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-omega-constellation-168-005.155619/
And you got similarly skeptical replies here. The thing is: I’m all for having an open mind, but when someone tries to pay me with a 7$-bill I’ll ask questions.
You could always apply for an Extract from Omega, of course, and see what happens.

The last one is the only one I somehow like, even if I wouldn’t probably wear it.

··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderI don’t care if they are ugly, I find it fascinating to see unusual things like this - thank you
ugly/pretty isn’t the point here.
great to see other collections and habits of other watch obsessed people.
